Which definition describes the nucleus?

• This is the brain of the cell. It controls the cell’s activities.

• This is a large sac that holds food, water, and waste.

• These structures are known as the powerhouse of the cell because
  they release energy.

• This green structure is found only in plant cells and uses energy from the sun to make food.

• This is the jelly-like substance that holds and protects the cell’s
  organelles.
